Rahul Gandhi has launched a scathing attack on the newly elected BJP government in West Bengal over the appointment of former chief electoral officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal as the state's new chief secretary.
Gandhi alleged a nexus between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Election Commission, saying 'In BJP-EC’s ‘Thieves’ Market’ — the bigger the theft, the bigger the reward.'
The appointment has triggered debate, with Opposition parties questioning the neutrality of election authorities during the polls.
The Trinamool Congress strongly objected to the appointment, claiming it reinforced suspicions about the neutrality of election authorities during the polls.
The BJP government has begun reshaping the Bengal administration, with several key appointments made following its historic victory in the state.
